I Love Cooking and Eating Healthy Meals Blog#2




     
      Cooking food and eating healthy is very important to me so I try to stay away from fast food. I  usually eat subway flat bread sandwiches or eat baked chicken with sweet potato, Caesar salad and with a green shake for a beverage,I add Spanish,Strawberries,Banana,Pear and Mango. I don't eat healthy all the time because I have cheat days.On the weekend I'll have cake, doughnuts, apple pie and all sorts of fatty foods you can think of. On the weekdays I go back to eating healthy because I want to stay healthy and fit.

        I eat in the evening at home or go to a restaurant after a good work out. I tend to eat whenever I am bored. I know it bad but it's fine because I snack on good stuff like almond nuts, peanuts and nature valley bars.I have a bad habit of eating late at night around one o'clock and that is the time when I snack on the unhealthy treats like Oreo and chocolate chip cookies,cake or whatever I can get my hands on.
 
       I love to cook when ever i had free time .I like to cook chicken breast, tilapia, steamed vegetables and brown rice. I cook because I want to eat lean as possible so I can have a good source of protein so and gain muscles mass.I try to stay away from fatty foods like McDonald and Burger King although I do love eating whoppers.Eating is my favorite thing to do and I love trying new healthy food from different cultures.

      During New Years my family eats a pumpkin soup called "Soup Joumou". Haitians eat Soup Joumou because Haiti was the very first country to break free from slavery. Since Haitians were not able to eat soup during slavery,once they gained freedom on January 1st they made eating soup a tradition on this day.Soup Joumou is very delicious yet very healthy since it contains a mixture of vegetables and vitamin A from the pumpkin.
